the device, its parts or enhancements. For vehicles
equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags
inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including
installed or portable wireless equipment in the area
over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed
and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited.
Turn off your device before boarding an aircraft. The
use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the
wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs
and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres
include areas where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death. Turn off the device at refueling
points such as near gas pumps at service stations.
Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in
fuel depots, storage and distribution areas, chemical
plants, or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include
below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. You
should check with the manufacturers of vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to
determine if this device can be safely used in their
vicinity.
